How SMEs Become Investible: Mark Goh at the GoSME x BeeTogether Event
The future of investment isn’t in giants — it’s in micro and small businesses rooted in real communities. At the GoSME x BeeTogether event, Mark Goh, COO of Li Legacy Holdings (USD 80M AUM), shares why the world’s most overlooked businesses form the greatest blue-ocean opportunity. From a 50 sq ft one-man law firm in Chinatown to being entrusted with USD 1M by billionaire Idan Ofer, Mark dismantles a common myth: Advertising is lazy branding. Real branding is community trust. This belief defines Li Legacy’s investment philosophy.
In this powerful presentation at the GoSME x BeeTogether event, Mark Goh, Chief Operating Officer of Li Legacy Holdings, reveals why the future of investment lies not in large corporations — but in micro and small businesses rooted deeply in their communities.
Speaking from real experience, Mark shares how Li Legacy, a single-family office with USD 80 million AUM, invests in the most overlooked business segment worldwide, and why this “ignored majority” represents a blue-ocean opportunity.
Drawing from his own journey — from running a 50 sq ft one-man law firm in Singapore’s Chinatown to being entrusted with USD 1 million by billionaire Idan Ofer — Mark challenges the common misconception that branding equals advertising.
Lazy branding is advertising. Real branding is community trust.
This is the core of Li Legacy’s investment philosophy.
